A Family Gallery Wall in Our Kitchen

When we decided on a long kitchen island, there was one wall behind the stools that needed to be filled—with something. Since the kitchen is really the heart of our home (and I was determined to find a place to use library sconces), I went with a gallery wall of our family pictures. I’m sharing three quick tips for creating a similar look in a new Wayfair video on YouTube.

To keep so many frames from feeling too heavy, I layered white frames with white mats on the white wall. All of the white also keeps the color photographs from looking too busy. (I still love color photography—don’t you?) By the way, I had these 5×7’s printed at CVS and was happy with the quality—and white borders.
